Abstract: Objective To investigate the surgical efficacy of arthroscopic debridement assisted treatment for supination-external rotation ankle fractures. Methods A total of 52 patients with supination-external rotation ankle fractures admitted to the Qingyuan Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively divided into group A (28 cases) and group B (24 cases) according to whether arthroscopic cleaning was used during surgery. Group A underwent arthroscopic assisted ankle joint cleaning after open reduction and internal fixation surgery, while group B underwent traditional open reduction and internal fixation surgery. The operative time and intraoperative blood loss were compared between group A and group B. At the postoperative 6th month, visual analogue scale (VAS) scores of ankle pain during walking, maximum ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, and Baird-Jackson ankle score were compared between group A and group B. Results The operative time in group A was (81.25±11.75) min, significantly longer than that in group B, (72.08±11.31) min (P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in group A was (47.32±18.48) mL, more than that in group B, (42.70±17.25) mL, and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). At the postoperative 6th month, the VAS score for ankle pain during walking in group A (1.67±1.05) was lower than that in group B (2.62±1.31), while the maximum ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in group A [(18.71±4.78)°] was larger than that in group B [(13.54±6.11)°], with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The ankle joint function of group A was better than that of group B, with a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Arthroscopic debridement at the time of open reduction and internal fixation in supination-external rotation ankle fractures may reduce postoperative ankle pain, increase ankle dorsiflexion range of motion, and improve postoperative ankle function, which is worth being recommended.
